Matthew L. Fisher

Matthew L. Fisher is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Hofstra University. His research focuses on understanding how epigenetic modifiers regulate interactions between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), aiming to identify novel therapeutic targets. He employs genetic and biochemical approaches to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying this aggressive cancer's progression.

Dr. Fisher teaches undergraduate courses including General Biology II, Genetics, Cell Biology, and supervises independent research and honors thesis projects. He also oversees internships and research programs for undergraduates.

His lab investigates epigenetic regulation of tumor microenvironment dynamics in HNSCC, emphasizing translational research for improved patient outcomes. No specific awards or publications are listed in the provided materials.
